BBC Two - Great British Menu, Series 10, Finals Week - Starter

Finals week kicks off with the starter course.

Creative culinary competition. It's finals week and the remaining eight chefs plate up their starters in the hope of making it onto the judges' shortlist.

It's finals week on Great British Menu as the eight regional champions battle for a chance to cook at a glorious banquet marking the centenary of the Women's Institute at London's historic Draper's Hall.

Each day, the chefs must cook one of their four courses to impress not only the judges Matthew Fort, Oliver Peyton and Prue Leith, but also guest judges who know the exacting standards of the WI, as well as their fellow chefs who will also be marking the dishes.

The best dishes will be selected for the judges' shortlist, putting them in contention for a place on the banquet menu. But this year, instead of the three top-scoring dishes being guaranteed a place on the shortlist, only those that are deemed perfect will make the grade. So each day there may only be two dishes that make the judges shortlist, or perhaps only one.

The final menu will be chosen by the judges from the dishes that have been shortlisted, so to be in with a chance of cooking at the banquet, the chefs must have secured a place on the judges' shortlist at least once.

It's the starter course, and the eight chefs battle it out to plate up impeccable dishes worthy of the Women's Institute. The judges are joined by WI Calendar Girl Angela Baker, but after Oliver reveals that this year it will be much tougher to make it onto the judges' shortlist, who will keep their cool and secure a place?
